New ‘Polytherapeutic’ App Shows Significant Improvement in Treating Tinnitus | North Carolina Governor's Working Group [NCGWG]

Tinnitus, that ringing, buzzing, hissing, whistling noise in your ear that only you seem to be able to hear, is a condition shared by 25 million American adults, according to the American Tinnitus Association. It’s one of the most common health conditions in the country and the number one disability in Veterans.

A new way of treating the condition has shown a “clinically meaningful” change in people experiencing tinnitus, says a new study from New Zealand. Researchers created an app that combines current standard therapies and uses them to create an individually tailored plan to treat it, with results they claim in just 6-12 weeks.

The app is currently awaiting regulatory review and isn’t available to the public, but it shows remarkable promise.
